    While this is likely a fake image, this will happen with any old/new car collision because new cars are designed to crush like that.

    Crumple zones keep you alive.

      Less of a bold statement than one might think. Not that denazification didn’t happen but West Germany is pretty notorious for leaving many of the Nazis in power.

      Like Von Braun, they just got told to shut up about the Nazi stuff and they’ll get to keep fighting socialists and sterilizing disabled people.

        I want to believe there is life for Tesla after Mr Musk is no longer associated.

        I further hope they can update and refine their sedans, bring out a truck that isn’t absolute ass, and generally evolve past what they are now.

        There is room in me to forgive the company victimized by his issues, and I think the tech could be in a great spot to remain competitive even as it recovers from Mr Musk’s corpocidal rages.

          God it would be awesome if SOMEONE would just make a decent small electric truck. Id kill for a 2 door, 3 seat, 4 wheel drive. But the only thing being built is one monstrosity after another

    At least the Beetle is a durable car that is almost synonym with repairability, and served multiple generations of working class people.

    And depending on the color you can make highschoolers punch each other just by driving around.

    Are people just willy-nilly crashing these Cyber monstrosities or what? Knowing how few are actually on the road, the number of them involved in accidents seems way too high given average accident statistics.

        GW Bush cut critical thinking out of America’s public education, and no Dem.ever tried to fix it…

        That was 2001.

        So Americans that started school then (born mid 90s) likely were never taught that skill.

        It’s why Republicans “surprisingly” gained ground with the youth vote. Kids didn’t “get more conservative” we just stopped teaching them how to use critical thinking.

        Some learned outside of school. But a shit ton of this generation just believe whatever is in front of them, because that’s all they were taught to do.

        It’s a great example of how Republicans have been using decades long plans, and neoliberals just show up every four years like a lazy groundhog and say they’re the only option.

        I know it is, but my comment still applies. I see way more images and videos of Cybertruck crashes than seems reasonable for how many there are on the road. I do wonder if they’re somehow more prone to accidents or if their drivers feel too safe and take bigger risks.

    Yeah, this is a good thing. If the car doesn’t crumple, the energy goes into you, and you die.

    Is there a point to generating these fake AI images anyway?
